Firecrest Films for Channel 5
London is a city of bridges. Thirty-five cross the Thames, carrying tens of millions of people each year. Without them, London as we know it wouldn’t exist. Bridges are the arteries of the capital. They are the result of industrial expansion and population boom. But they are also the engines of change.
Rob Bell will explore the extraordinary story of four of London’s most iconic bridges: London Bridge, Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge, and Waterloo Bridge. He will uncover not just how they were built, but why they were built. Rob will unearth the human stories and find out how each bridge changed the face of London and shaped the story of Britain.
